This part of ISO 16620 specifies the method of determining the amounts of biobased part in the biobased
synthetic polymer in plastics products. This calculation method for biobased synthetic polymer content
is based on the mass of biobased synthetic polymer in the plastics products.
This part of ISO 16620 is applicable to plastic products and plastic materials, polymer resins, monomers,
or additives, which are made from biobased or fossil-based constituents.
Knowing the biobased content of plastic products is useful when evaluating their environmental impact.
